Functionally gradient materials (FGM) widely used materials as they have more advantages as compared to traditional composites. The objective of this paper is to simulate and analyse an FGM plate subjected to a mechanical load under thermal environment. The properties are assumed to vary according to Power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. Numerical analysis using finite element method is followed by simulation in ANSYS software. The displacement fields for simply supported FGM plate under thermomechanical loads are analysed.
